(01:10):
And man, my wife and I, we'vebeen going through a home
renovation.
We were dealing with a babyshower planning, and she's

Nariah, Keisha Rose Johnson ishere.
(01:55):
In fact, I if if my camera wason, I would show you guys, but
she's actually right next to meright now.
You know, she's a veryunproblematic child, except for
like during the midnight hours,you know what I'm saying?
The night shifts, it you know,it gets a little crazy.
Y'all know how that goes.
If you have children or you'vehad children, rather, you
already know what that's like.
But other than that, man, she'sgreat.
(02:16):
She's like me when I was a baby,as my mom would tell me.
Um, as long as I was fed, aslong as my diaper was dry and
clean, you know, I was fairlyunproblematic.
You know, not really muchcrying.
You know, I I would really go toanybody, uh, you know, letting
anybody hold me, like whether Ilike them or not.
You know, that sort of thing.
(02:37):
Um, but she's here, man.
She's here in a rocker rightnow, looking like a little
angel.
You know what I'm saying?
Allowing me, giving me the timeto do this here with you guys.
Um, she was born last Monday.
Yes, uh, or two Mondays ago.
Can't even I've lost trackalready.
Um, September 29th.
(02:58):
And it's it's a blessing, man.
She's a blessing.
Um it's this has been awhirlwind of a change in our
lives, man.
And it's a wonderful change.
I think I heard this song say,man, that has come over my not
just my wife and I, but ourfamily, bro.
(03:18):
A wonderful change that has comeover our family.
Um, you know, even in and on thethe heels or so of losing a
beloved family member, God hasprovided another.
And um, if you hear that middlename, Keisha Rose, she is a uh,
(03:40):
what do I say?
Uh, what's the word?
A tribute of sorts to oursister, our beloved Keisha, man.
And so it's it's it's beautiful,man.
It's beautiful.
I man, I have I'm I'm in theprocess of upgrading this
equipment.
As I upgrade one piece ofequipment, I never I notice that
(04:03):
uh the the old piece ofequipment is not compatible with
the new.
And so I have a completelydifferent setup right now.
Excuse me.
And it will continue.
It's gonna continue, man.
It's only gonna get better.
Like I said, we're in a we're inthe middle of a renovation, and
shout out to my my uh my goodbrother and friend who happens
(04:23):
to be um our contractor.
Um my man Jose, he he's thebest, bro.
He's the best.
He's become a family member atthis point, you know what I'm
saying?
And and and he's embraced us,we've embraced him.
Shout out to you, bro.
Man, life is just different.
And and and God is good, man.
Do we have everything we want?
Is everything what we want it tobe?
(04:45):
Uh are we all where we feel likewe should be or where we want to
be?
Probably not.
But if you just take a step backand look at how far you've come,
I promise you, you'll you'll beable to be grateful.
I promise you, you'll you mightactually be proud of yourself.
Um, I was talking to a sister ofmine recently, and I she's 19.
(05:06):
Shout out to you, Bean.
Um, and it's like as thesedifferent uh these new events
take place in her life, she'slike, yo, this is how I handled
it, this is how I navigated it.
Are you disappointed in me?
And I'm just like, bro, no.
Like, I remember you at 17making me want to pull my hair
out.
I mean, you still do sometimes,but I'm able to take a step back
(05:29):
and see the growth.
You know, you're navigatingsomething in your life now that
you've never done before, andyou're wise enough to come to
people who have probably gonethrough these things before.
You know, not many of us werethat smart.
Uh a lot of us when we wereyounger, we despised the advice
of the elders.
And some of us are still likethat.
(05:50):
And I I I beg you to come out ofthat.
If you find yourself in a placelike uh the the great in
potential Andrew Bynum, who usedto play for the Los Angeles
Lakers, who had the audacity onetime to say that he has learned
everything that he can fromKareem Abdul Jabbar and whoever
(06:14):
else.
He he doesn't need to train withKareem Abdul Jabbar anymore
because he's learned everythinghe can from him.
And mind you, the kid was 24-25when he said that, and proceeded
to do absolutely nothing afterthat point.
Nothing but get old too young,not take care of his body, and
eventually have to retire um andnot even scratch the surface of
(06:38):
what he could have been.
You know what I'm saying?
Don't I I pray that you're notlike that.
This podcast, this this brandthat we're building, this
conglomerate that's beingcreated, it is literally to help
us continue to grow as people.
(07:01):
That is the goal.
And so, shout out to you, Bean,who has continued to grow.
Um, let's all continue to havethat sort of mindset, man.
Nothing but growth around here.
Um, and if you're not growing, II saw this post the other day on
Instagram, and um and forgiveme, this is my return, you know
what I'm saying?
(07:21):
Let me ramble, let me ramble.
That's what you guys likeanyway, right?
Everybody keeps asking me, yo,what like what's going on,
what's going on, and then Igotta let them know what's going
on, and then they like, oh,okay.
And a lot of people already knowwhat's going on.
Um saw this post the other daythat said, yo, you ever outgrow
somebody mid-conversation?
Anybody ever anybody everoutgrow somebody
(07:43):

Mid-text thread?
You ever outgrow somebodymid-text thread and realize, yo,

I don't smoke anymore, but I'mjust saying.
(08:48):
You know, that's that that'ssomething I used to do.

But some of us is still doing itthe same way we was doing in
high school.
Come on.
We we gotta do better.
Let's evolve.
Let's let's let's let's let'sevolve.

Oh, what's that quote?
Um change is inevitable, growthis optional.

Change is inevitable, and growthis optional.
So are are we growing as changeis happening?
Are we growing as change ishappening?
And and I am grateful to saythat, you know, and even with my

appreciated.
This woman, I remember a longtime ago, back when you know we
were young, my brother and I,and some of us maybe at our own
church feeling unappreciated.
How somebody who doesn't go toyour church plan literally plans
(15:12):
for and executes presentingpeople from another church with
plaques and gifts ofappreciation.
She came to our church and did apresentation for the refuge
temple musicians and presentedus with plaques and cards and
whatever the case may be.
(15:36):
During a time where even my ownchurch wasn't doing that for us.
Our own church wasn'trecognizing us in that way, and
she came from the Bronx, her ownchurch, where she's the first
lady, and came to our churchwith plaques already made to
present to us.
Man, that that's who that womanwas.
